Giveaway to celebrate an exciting new website

Deadline for participating in the Giveaway extended to Jan.10, 2017

                                           Deadline extended until Jan 10, 2017
Soma Han, the illustrator of the above pictured book has recently launched a website.  She is an accomplished artist who is commited to illustrating chilren's books about different aspects of Korean culture to reach out to children of Korean ancestry and to all children in general.  Today I am excited to be able to promote her work with a giveaway of her book,  Maya and The Turtle. This lovely book is a retelling of a fairy tale handed down to Soma through her grandmother and mother when she was a child growing up in Korea.  The copy you receive will be signed and "chopped" by Soma and can be personally dedicated to the person you choose.  I am  honored to have been asked by her husband and co-author of Maya and The Turtle, John C. Stickler,( my brother) to celebrate Soma Han's new website with this giveaway.   In order to have your name included in the random draw to pick the winner of this giveaway, I am asking you to go to her website and take a look at some of her illustrations in the Books or Gallery category ( see screen shot below  for how it will look) or watch the slide show that will scroll by you

  1. The yellow butterfly is breathtaking. It is my favorite. As a former children's librarian, I love reading fairy tales from different cultures and seeing their similarities and differences. This book will make a lovely addition to many library collections and homes.

  2. It was difficult to choose a favorite. But I am especially fond of the amiable look of the orange and black tiger.

  6. All of the paintings and mosaics are lovely, but my favorite is of the irises. The gentle colors beautifully blend into each other. We have family ties to Korea and have visited the country twice. llandig at msn dot com

  7. After looking and going over and looking, again, I have to say I love the cover of the book, Maya and the Turtle: A Korean Fairy Tale. For me it shows a sweetness and trust between Maya and the turtle.
